How This Book Will Give You Secrets for Achieving
Everything You Want in Life
Throughout the ages there have been illumined souls who
possessed extraordinary powers of the mind and spirit.
These great teachers possessed universal wisdom which
they carefully guarded, revealing it only to the few
neophytes who were ready for these great mystical and
spiritual revelations.
These great souls had discovered the secrets of the universe
through contemplation and meditation on the deeper
mysteries of life. They advised kings and princes; they
safeguarded the arts, music, literature and scientific
knowledge all through the dark ages. They gave inspiration
and guidance to the few who were ready for their revelations.
Civilization advances and man rises to greatness under the
impetus of the wisdom and knowledge that he gathers
throughout the centuries. Formerly this wisdom was denied
to the masses, because they lacked the institutions of
learning. Now, in our modern twentieth century, this
accumulated wisdom can be revealed in all its radiant
splendor.
In this study we shall walk together, teacher and student,
down the golden path of history, gleaning the priceless
secrets of the ages and applying them to your own daily life
for achieving the health, wealth, and happiness which is
every person's secret dream.

may apply them to your own everyday life to achieve the
fulfillment of all your dreams.

Principles to incorporate in your new life
FIRST PRINCIPLE: Build basic integrity and strength of
character. This is vitally
important in your future growth and evolvement. but because you want to eradicate
them once and for all! To shatter the mold of past failures
and negative conditions you must know what they have
been.

and live up to it. and he was fifteen
minutes late. One might argue that sometimes a storm
makes it difficult to get a cab or bus.No great destiny was ever built except on a solid
foundation of integrity and strength of character. He had every other qualification for the job. it
weakens and undermines the entire basic structure of mind. Shakespeare said it in
these words:
!
When you give your word. and the man could never
forgive him for that.
The first round on the ladder of success and achievement is
basic honesty. This is
a basic trait of character which you should build into your
character at an early age.

his prospective employer'
s time. or that one awakened

. It shows basic dishonesty if a person is
habitually late.
I know one young man who applied for a position at a
salary of twelve thousand dollars a year. If you build on this foundation you will have
integrity and strength of character. Time is valuable and when you
develop dishonesty in stealing other people's time.
Be punctual and show up early for an appointment. "He that
climbs a ladder must begin at the first round" (Scott).
Nothing will profit you as much as being known among
your friends and business associates as being a person who
keeps his word. mean it.

uncontrolled thoughts that harass your mind
and take your energy and inspiration. you will soon have removed
all the unruly.
SECOND PRINCIPLE: Organize your mind and your
environment. At first the thoughts will jump around in
confusion.late. and soon
your habits will reflect order. One should always
prepare for such eventualities by starting for an appointment at least half an hour early.
The oriental system of philosophy teaches one to sit in
meditation and concentrate on ones thoughts for an hour or
more a day. like monkeys in a treetop.
When you have once controlled the thoughts you shall
think. Thoughts have a way of just popping
into one's mind in an incoherent and disorderly fashion.
What does "organize" mean? It means to bring into a
systematic relationship all the parts of a whole. This means
your mind should be organized in its thinking first.
How do you scientifically organize your mind? By first
controlling the thoughts that come into your mind. then
your environment will reflect order and harmony. The Oriental teacher
says that one must mentally pluck each thought (or
monkey) from the branch of the tree. punctuality. then it is time to feed your mind systematically only

. but if you
keep doing this for a few days. nearness and

and mercy. happiness and peace. Into the fabric of our
thoughts." someone has said. the
expression of your eyes and face. weave a glowing pattern of greatness. Do not dwell on
failure and defeat.those thoughts which conform to the pattern you wish to

say or do. then.
What shall these thoughts be?
Weaving the Glowing Pattern of Greatness:

Some people measure time in their lives by referring to a
thing having happened before or after an operation or a
broken leg or arm.
Visualize yourself going on a trip to Europe or Hawaii. Then mentally
exercise your mind by visualizing yourself on boats. rather than your operations and sicknesses.
THIRD PRINCIPLE: Expand your mental horizons to
include experiences you want to have in the future. The Bible
says. taking trips to these thrilling lands.who weeps and talks about his problems.
Too often people are limited to a dull pattern of routine
existence because they have no mental vision. Study books like the National
Geographic magazine so you may acquaint yourself with
the wonderful world in which you live. "Without vision the people perish. This will
help expand the horizons of your thinking and make more
tolerable the present monotonous routine and give you hope
of a change in the future. Talk and think of
beautiful things tell of your happy and wonderful
experiences. They wear a mask of misfortune that
marks them for experiences of doom and disaster. planes
and trains." Your life will
expand miraculously if you expand your mental horizons
and include experiences that you want to have in your
future.

Obtain travel literature and look at all the glamorous places
there are in the world and have a mental plan to visit some
of these places in the future.

A story is told of Catherine.You can also expand your thinking by visualizing yourself
doing the work you would like to do.
Some people feel inferior because they actually are! You
can only rise above mediocrity and inferiority by building
your sense of values so you will actually be worth more in
your job or to the world. The singer sent
word to the Empress that her fee would be five thousand
gold ducats. If you gather as much

How to Think Your Way
To Fame and Fortune
All creative effort begins in the Mind. No matter how hard you may try. It is your mind that is the selector of the events of
your present and future life. You do nothing that
the mind does not first conceive of and then approve. By analyzing the past with its mistakes and regrets.

is not a selfish desire. because he wanted to improve his station in life and

necessary that you think each thing into existence.
Reserves of power within your mind
Your mind also has this reserve force which may be tapped
when you want to achieve greatness. but a natural one.You can think your way to health. which is inherent in
all people under the instinct of self-preservation.
This desire often expresses itself in creative action of the
mind and evolves ideas that bring success. What is the true key to
greatness? How can you unlock these reserves of power
which can cause you to scale the heights and achieve fame
and fortune?
FIRST KEY: A desire to advance yourself or your family
Many of the great things which have been attained in life
were inspired by the desire to advance one's interests. You can find fulfillment
in love and marriage by building mental power. McCormick
invented the reaper when he was only twenty-four years of
age. You can attract friends and social popularity
through the power of your mind.
The cumulative effect of thought is very much like water
that is stored behind a dam. The trickle that passes over the
dam and turns the dynamos.

People who
made big fortunes or became famous and successful were
generally infused with this creative spirit of unselfishness. When he died he left a fortune of five
hundred million dollars. he would no doubt have remained poor the rest of
his life. The proof of this
unselfish motivation is the fact that he gave all profit from
the sale of the vaccine which bears his name to charity.help his family. it was obviously not for himself alone. He
undoubtedly also wanted to make money and improve his
own position in life.
When Dr.
64
.
Henry Ford had a desire to perfect a car that would be
reasonable and furnish mass transportation for people.
SECOND KEY: A desire to create something for the good
of the world. If he
had not been inspired by a desire to help his family and
himself. He was
motivated by a desire to create something good for the
entire world and to spare millions of children and adults the
agony of polio with its resultant paralysis. Salk worked quietly for years to perfect his polio
vaccine.
When you are motivated by this unselfish desire you will
have greater inspiration to achieve a high goal than if you
merely have a desire to have a large fortune. The motivation which inspired him
was this desire to advance his own interests and those of
the world. This was one of the great inventions of all
time and brought the young man millions of dollars.

and talk like an Emperor.
uncultured. the greatest
tragedian of his day.THIRD KEY: Stimulate your imagination by imagining the
life you desire
The imagination is one of your most powerful aids to
achieving fame and fortune. Napoleon called in Talma. and unprepossessing Napoleon acquired the
bearing and dignity of an Emperor and for twenty years the
crowned heads of the world were to bow before him—a
task that would have been utterly impossible if he had not
used the power of his imagination. Napoleon. and had him teach him to think.

and watch your expression in the mirror. Then mentally
imagine that you are delivering this reading before an
audience on a stage. Become alert to the sound of your
voice, study the expression on your face in the mirror
carefully. Convey all the intensity and meaning that is
inherent in the words.
2. Also before your mirror, without the aid of a book,
imagine that you are standing before the Congress of the
United States. You have been called upon to deliver a
speech. Make up in your own words what you would say
on any subject you choose. At first this idea will appall
you, but gradually, as your imagination becomes more and
more fired, you will find yourself delivering quite a good
speech. But most important of all, this exercise will do
wonders for your mind; your personality will become more
magnetic and forceful, your voice will ring with a new note
of authority, and your entire attitude will change to one of
power and importance. Practice this speech-making as
often as possible, for it is one of the best ways to project the
power of your imagination to your personality and your
environment.
3. Use this same power of your imagination to change your
mental picture of your job, your financial conditions, or any
other situation that you desire. Practice saying aloud what
you would tell your boss if you were to ask him for a raise
in salary. Point out your unique services for the company,
why you are worth more, and why you believe he will give
you the raise.

66

Mentally imagine yourself going to the bank and depositing
large sums of money; or withdrawing money and going on
a mental shopping spree, buying all the things you desire.
Actually, it is only a short step between imagination and
reality. When your mind grows strong enough in mental
imagery to make these things a reality, you will have
bridged the gap between dreams and reality and actually
find yourself doing the things you formerly only imagined.
It was in imagination that primitive man first saw a stone
rolling down a hill, and imagined it attached to a cart. This
led to the invention of the wheel, which scientists call the
greatest invention of all time. For with the creation of the
wheel man set the stage for automobiles and our modern jet
planes. All our machinery depends on this fundamental
principle of the wheel.
FOURTH KEY: Practice thinking about Money and Fame
as often as you can.
Change your former ideas about money: that it's wrong to
have it, that it's difficult to get, that only the rich have a
chance to succeed in life. Your entire mental attitude
toward fame and fortune will change if you begin to think
of money as a commodity which can be used to obtain
things of value.
Many people think it's wrong to be rich. They remember
the Bible injunction that it's more difficult for a rich man to
get into heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a
needle. Actually the needle referred to was the gate in
67

Jerusalem, before which a camel had to kneel to pass
through. Also the Bible says "Love of money is the root of
all evil" and not "Money is the root of all evil" as many
suppose.
Begin to think that you wish to achieve fame and fortune
and be rich and successful because it is God's wish that you
have all the good things of life. Even the Bible promises
you this. It says, "Know ye not that ye are heirs to a
Kingdom?" Also, "It is the Father's good pleasure to give
you the Kingdom." Act as though you are a spiritual heir to
all the good things of life, and you will begin to attract
them.
Also in the Bible we are told this about money, "Wine
maketh merry: but money answereth all things" (Ecc.
10:19.)
Bacon said of money; "Money is a good servant but a bad
master."
And Aristodemus, one of the wise Greek teachers, said of
money: "Money makes the man."
You will achieve the degree of fame and fortune that you
believe you can achieve, and your desires must be whetted
by the thought of the good you can do for others.

68

Summary of Law Three
Creative mind paves the way to fame and fortune. Vast reserves of creative power exist within your mind. This
power may be released through a desire to advance yourself
or to help others in life. Imagination is the key that unlocks
the invisible doors to the storehouse of universal riches.
Money in itself is not evil; only the love of money. Act as
though you are an heir to a kingdom and ask for what you
want of life.

LAW FOUR
Using the Master Mind Power
That Can Build Your Future
In building your future you may feel that you need external
help, that someone or something must happen which can
elevate you to the place you dream of in the future. This
persistent thought may actually keep you from ever
achieving the heights of which you dream.
You must realize that external forces can help you but only
when you have tapped the full power that is available to
your mind. This is the power of the Master Mind which
rules the entire universe and which can guide you
unerringly to your right destiny.
The master mind in nature
This Master Mind exists in all nature. It is the working of a
vast force or intelligence which shapes the visible and
invisible world in which we live. Call this power Nature or
God, or Cosmic Intelligence, whatever you wish, but
certain it is that something external to man is at work in the
universe which is constantly busy refining, changing,
evolving and perfecting.
When I was a youngster on the farm I went to Sunday
School one morning and heard the minister tell of miracles.
My ten-year-old mind could not comprehend what he
meant by the word. When we got home, my father took me
70

by the hand and led me to an incubator where some chicks
were about to hatch. As the first tiny beak broke through
the egg, my father said, "That my boy, is what the preacher
meant this morning when he spoke of a miracle."
I watched in amazement as the tiny chick pecked its way
out of the egg shell, and then said, "The miracle to me is
how he got in there in the first place."
This profound fact—which came first, the chicken or the
egg—has baffled scholars, theologians, and philosophers
throughout the ages. We know that some First Cause exists
in the universe which created all forms of life, but which
came first—the Creative Idea or the Thing? Obviously, if
we want to be logical about it, we must state that the
Creative Idea had to be first. There can only be a chicken if
there is a Cause—the egg, or the parent hen that laid that
egg.
So too, in the natural universe all things have a predetermining Cause, which leads to all effects. If you want
to use this great creative principle of the Master Mind in
your life for achieving fulfillment of your destiny, you can
plan the Causes you want to issue from your mind, and you
may be sure that all the effects will be of the same kind and
character, quality and degree.
How the master mind works its miracles
The Master Mind of the universe works its miracles

operating in the sea first.How does the bee have this knowledge? It is a part of its
race instinct. and it

indefinite periods of time. It has long. It is the race instinct

How to Attract the
Things You Want in Life
Through Universal Magnetism
There is a vast sea of etheric intelligence in the universe
which man may tap and use. He must first know the laws
governing this life force—universal magnetism.
Magnetism is the cohesive power that exists between all the
cells of the universe, binding them together under the
centrifugal and centripetal force which governs all matter.
"Centrifugal" means the force in gravity that causes an
atom or other object to rotate away from the center of
rotation. "Centripetal" means a force that causes an atom or
a body to move toward the center of rotation.
The dictionary definition for magnetism is: "The property,
quality, or condition of being magnetic. The force to which
this is due. Personal charm."
The dictionary defines the term "magnetic" as: "Having the
properties of a magnet. Producing or causing magnetism.
The earth's magnetism. That which can be magnetized.
Powerfully attractive."
How you can become a human magnet
What are the properties of a magnet? Any piece of iron,
steel, or loadstone that has the property of attracting iron or

steel. Also, a magnet is anything that attracts. This means
that the human magnet is as real as that made of iron or
steel. In iron or steel the atoms are driven in magnetic lines
of force which have the power to attract any metal which
has the same property. In the human magnet the mind has
the same power of attracting anything that it has put into its
atomic structure or cells. The body also has this property of
magnetism. Note the magnetic attraction to each other of a
boy and girl who are in love. They are impelled towards
each other almost as if pushed by invisible hands.
In a sense, it is almost like giant invisible hands which hold
up our earth as it spins in space, in a field of solar, lunar,
and stellar magnetic attraction which keeps the earth
spinning at one thousand miles an hour around the sun
without any visible support. The centrifugal and centripetal
force of gravity, the push and pull power which attracts and
at the same time repels all objects in space, is responsible
for the earth and moon, sun and stars staying in their orbits
in the heavens.
Newton discovered the power of gravity, but it was Dr.
Felix Erenhaft who proved the existence of magnetism as
the power behind all creation. This discovery was so great
that in nineteen forty-five, when Erenhaft made his
experiments at Columbia university, The New York Times
carried front-page stories for five days in a row reporting
the great event.

What magnetism means to you
You can use the great universal power of magnetism in
your own life. It can be directed, built, channeled, so that it
will exert its influence in your affairs. You can make your
mind a powerful magnet which has the power to attract to
you that which you consistently put into your mind.
You can magnetize your body so that it is healthy, youthful,
and energetic, and you will seldom ever tire. You can learn
how to magnetize or attract objects, such as money, cars,
houses, land, persons you want in your life, by using this
dynamic universal law of magnetism.
Your body has magnetism
Your body already has magnetism within its cells and
atoms. It is the life force. Electricity and magnetism
constitute an indivisible unit, which gives man life and
health. The power of your mind is electric, and the nerves
of the body operate through electricity. When God created
your body He knew that the only way in which your mind
could operate in your body was by making the blood a
saline solution, as salt is a perfect conducting medium for
electricity.
The brain, which sends out its electrical messages to your
body through your mind, stores up quantities of this
magnetic substance in the cells of the brain and body.
When this store of magnetism and electricity is depleted,
you suffer fatigue and sickness The magnetism that builds
108

your brain and body energy is in the very air about you; the
breath you breathe helps renew this powerful magnetic
substance. Also, the thoughts you think, the foods you eat,
all help in keeping your fund of magnetism high.
Magnetism is of three kinds
There are three kinds of magnetism:
1. Mental Magnetism
2. Physical Magnetism
3. Spiritual Magnetism
Regimen for building mental magnetism
1. Keep your thoughts positive, happy, and optimistic.
Have you ever noticed how you are attracted instantly to a
person who has a bright, happy smile? By the same token,
people avoid those who are worry-birds and who wear
expressions of sadness and gloom. A smile is magnetic, a
frown is unmagnetic. One attracts people to you; the other
repels. The two poles of magnetism or gravity are attractive
and repellant. You can increase your polarity to popularity,
friendship, success, and love fulfillment if you keep your
mind magnetically attuned to friendship, love, beauty,
good, and truth. The mind that is magnetized by these
positive qualities is automatically more attractive and
radiates in the personality the things that are magnetic and
charming.

109

2. As magnetism is action, the mind that is active and filled
with interesting thoughts is more magnetic than a mind that
is bored with life and has little or no interest in anything.
Keep your mind and body active as long as possible.
Young people, who have magnetism naturally, are usually
very active and restless. Their minds are usually curious,
enthusiastic, and searching constantly for new experiences.
If you can keep this magnetic quality of the young when
you grow older you will not only feel younger but you will
look younger and be able to do more in life.
This means that you should never stop studying something
all through your life. Study French or Spanish or some
other foreign language. Take a course in music, singing,
dancing, or painting and drawing. Anything you like, which
keeps your brain cells active and magnetic, will help give
you more of this life-giving substance of magnetism.
Churchill an example of magnetism
The late Winston Churchill was an example of this
principle of magnetic action for remaining young, dynamic
and active until the very time of his death. He wrote great
historical books, painted, had many hobbies, was a great
statesman and leader, and kept abreast of the times through
extensive reading. His brain cells were alive and magnetic
throughout his entire life.
General Eisenhower is another excellent example of how
mental and physical action gives one great magnetism and

Children are especially susceptible to this form of
subconscious suggestion and should be shielded from
movies and television programs and books that feature
violence.
Example: A thirteen-year-old boy had observed a hanging
on television in a western movie. incorporating its
negative action in your own body. Imagine how shocked his

Sickness caused by negative thoughts
It has been found by scientists in a study called psychosomatic medicine that many types of illness are caused by a
person's negative thoughts. A psychiatrist
gave him a word association test to try to determine what
was troubling the man subconsciously. and they were so bad
that doctors considered operating on him. it was found in
industrial accidents that ninety percent of all accidents
occurred to only ten percent of the workers. The boy was repentant afterwards.and saw a butcher knife.
Innocent words like sky. This proved to science
that some emotional or negative mental conditioning was
furnishing the reflex action in these cases which led to
accidents and sickness. The man was given

To be most effective you should use autosuggestion at least

pattern.

You can make up your own. The best time to treat your
subconscious mind is at night. just before
you go to sleep You can whisper the autosuggestions to
yourself. The following autosuggestions can be
memorized and used whenever you need them. whichever best suits your
convenience.

I ask for
ideas that will lead me to getting this money from some

Show me how to think. I have faith that my subconscious mind will give me
ways by which I may obtain this sum of money. and what to do to be

and the conditions you state as being real will actually
become caught up in your sympathetic nervous system and
be a part of the automatic habit patterns of your brain. Also. You will build
a nature that is confident. You will
watch your voice and the expression on your face. and
produce the conditions you desire in your life.
You will wear the best clothes you can afford. and forceful. to be a perfect example of something which
you hold in your mind. If you want your subconscious
mind to make you a success in your business. These subconscious thoughts will
externalize themselves in everything you say and do. I will attract the right
conditions in my life to give me completion."
When you make a positive statement such as "I am happy. how will you
use the art of personification?
You will begin to think and act like a successful person. Soon
you will build such a positive conscious and subconscious
mind that every act of your life will become colored by the
thoughts imprinted there."I am successful. poised. I
am successful.
THIRD PRINCIPLE: Subconscious may be impressed
through this art of personification
To personify means to think of or to represent a thing as a
person. I am happy. You will
speak as though you already are successful. and

thought and acted—and consequently looked—like the

as secretary in an office of a cosmetic firm. she
was using the art of personification and giving herself
suggestions that she would be noticed and given
advancement in a short time. She had studied diction and speech and her voice
was softly modulated. plain clothing. In other
words. so far as outer appearances were
concerned. even before big success has come to you. but clear and precise. Other girls who
had been with the firm for years complained bitterly
because this comparative new comer had been given this
choice job. Her tones were

will have involved this positive thought so deeply in the
fabric of your conscious and subconscious minds that you
will begin to attract good luck. beautiful and poised. I have photographs with such

dominant thought: "You will like me and give me
advancement in my job. so you evolve. and ultimately your
actions creating your destiny. I shall prove worthy and deserving
and give of my best to my job. in your speech. As
you involve. states this law. friendly without
fawning on her. What you put

Therefore use this rule of the subconscious and involve in
your consciousness the thoughts that you are already rich
and successful. is the material which will work its magical
transformation within your mind and evolve in the facets of
your personality. and fulfillment of your destiny.

your determination to achieve something. you can only
strengthen the will by never giving up. If your original idea
is sound.
The second step is persistence. Then exercise your will power and take the necessary
steps to bring about the needed action. you must invoke the determination to carry through
with your decision. and the more you procrastinate. You may exert will power and
feel that something should happen immediately.
The third step is patience.

remember that nothing ever matures in nature overnight,
except perhaps a mushroom, and it has a short lifetime. If
you want to build something enduring and imperishable,
you must give it time to mature and develop.
It takes time to build the success habit, just as it has taken
time to build the failure habit. When you give some time
each day to shaping your thoughts and actions in the mold
of success, eventually you will have the success you
dreamed of. When things do not seem to be shaping up the
way you want them, you must re-examine your thinking
and see if you have allowed negative thoughts to enter your
mind. Perhaps your faith has weakened because of the
length of time it takes to achieve your dream. It is then time
to reaffirm that faith daily.

Scientific principles of control and command
FIRST PRINCIPLE: Strive to be worthy of the best that life
has to offer. Life has a way of paying us exactly what we're
worth. It is a sad truth, which we hate to admit, but we are
generally in the position in life that we deserve or have
sought out. If we are in an inferior position, perhaps it is
because we have inferior talents. We can only command
the better job when we are ready for it. This means, if you
are displeased with your position in life, you must work to
218

change it. You can only do it through changing your
attitude towards life and towards yourself. Confucius said,
"Do not worry about honors and fame; strive only to be
worthy of them."
Answer These Questions Honestly:
1. Have you cultivated your mind since you left school?
2. Do you keep up on current events by reading some good
daily newspaper or weekly magazine?
3. Are you enrolled in an evening course in high school or
college to improve yourself?
4. Do you take advantage of your public library and the
special lectures and personal development courses given by
many libraries?
5. Do you attend lectures at your local Town Hall club,
YMCA, or YWCA?
6. Do you learn new words and their meaning each day?
7. Have you ever written a letter to an important person
asking for his aid in your career?
8. Do you try to dress your best, look your best, speak your
best, and project a smiling personality?
9. Do you give your best to your present job?
219

10. Have you developed the art of public speaking and selfexpression?
Give yourself ten points for each Yes answer, and you
should score eighty or more to be in the excellent class. If
you score less then you should be working on your mental
habits and preparing yourself to be worthy of the highest
rewards from life.
SECOND PRINCIPLE: Demand the best from life and
people. When you are really worthy of the best, you can
then begin to command the best from life and people.
Everyone recognizes quality. You cannot fool the world.
But if you think thoughts of quality and your actions show
confidence, poise, and authority, it will not be long before
you will be noticed by people who can help you advance.
!

2
(Cowper.)

You will find that quality speaks a language all its own.
When you once look, act, and speak with charm, culture,
and elegance, you will soon find that no person can stand in
your way. Like attracts like, and you must attract persons
on the same mental wave length as yourself. They will help
you achieve your goal because they are aiming at the same
goals as you are.
Act with Dignity and Honor: If you wish to attract the best
that life has to offer, you must approach life with a sense of
220

dignity and honor. The world recognizes quality and is
indifferent to commonness and vulgarity. For a time such
persons may thrive, but eventually the equalizing force of
life reduces them to their right place.
Make it a point to demand respect from others. Even those
closest to you should be expected to conform to your high
standards and treat you with respect and dignity. A sense of
personal dignity and integrity makes itself felt immediately
when you contact important people. As they have built
quality into their characters they instantly sense it when
you raise your mental and spiritual standards to the highest
and best.
THIRD PRINCIPLE: Do not compromise with character.
In striving to win a high goal in life, you may be impressed
by the fact that many unworthy persons seem to achieve a
high destiny and rich rewards from life, and you may feel
that this is the way you will achieve the same rewards. But
do not compromise with character. Maintain your high
moral standards and your sense of responsibility, even in
face of general world-wide lowering of standards.
We see this universal lowering of standards in art, music,
literature, and drama. We see the rise of crime and
delinquency, dope addiction, alcoholism, and crimes of
violence. The fact that immorality is rampant and that most
people are losing their sense of morality does not make it
right. You can still win the biggest rewards from life by
maintaining a high personal moral code and building your

221

life on a solid foundation of honesty, goodness, love,
consideration, and generosity.

(Lincoln).

FOURTH PRINCIPLE: Command attention by speaking in
a compelling and authoritative tone of voice. It's amazing
now people respect and obey a person who has a
compelling and magnetic voice. Bruce Barton, the noted
author and lecturer, tells in his study of over ten thousand
men and women who have achieved outstanding success
that every one of them did so through the power to
command attention through the spoken word. Make it a
point to study your voice and to learn how to use it
intelligently to express the subtle shades of meaning you
wish to convey.
There are many excellent books on this subject in the
library and in bookstores. Also you may enroll in free
public speaking courses in high schools. The main thing
about developing your voice is to study and practice
reading aloud. This should be done at least one hour a day
for a period of six months to a year, until you have such
command of the English language that you can express
yourself forcefully and dramatically.
There is hardly a field of human endeavor in which the
human voice is not important. This is especially true if you

222

are seeking a position where you are in charge of others or
have to give orders to your co-workers.
Cultivate a magnetic voice: You can cultivate a magnetic
voice if you practice this simple exercise: Say the sounds
Bree, Bray, Brah, Broh, rolling the R'
s and keeping the tone
on the lips as much as possible. Start at the lowest tone you
are capable of making comfortably, and go up the scale
saying the four words on each note until you have gone as
high as you can comfortably. This exercise will tend to
place your voice in the mask of the face and give you
projection and magnetism. It is one of the simplest and best
voice control methods I know for one who wishes to
achieve a pleasant and magnetic voice. There are many
other exercises which help do this also, but you should go
to a competent teacher if you wish more extensive training
of the voice.
Enlarge the vocabulary: It is also vitally important to
enlarge your vocabulary if you wish to rise higher in almost
any field. You can do this with a simple dictionary, and by
learning and using only one new word a day for one year.
There are also special books on vocabulary building which
you may obtain in paperback editions or from your public
library. Time spent in this study will pay off big dividends.
Try to speak as grammatically as possible, avoiding
slovenly diction and slipshod speech. Make it a conscious
habit for six months or so to build your voice and your
speech patterns and then later this will become automatic
and easy. People have no other way to judge you than
223

it is vitally important that you develop a magnetic and
compelling personality by using the power of your eyes. your eyes should be held steady and
not blink too often. If you
can express yourself fluently and with authority.through the way you dress and the way you speak. and if you try
to look into someone's eyes. At first you will probably blink many times. In any work where
you deal with the public.

giving you an evasive and.
To be truly magnetic. there is no
doubt but that you will attract the attention of people who
can help you achieve your goal. possibly.
FIFTH PRINCIPLE: Develop a magnetic and compelling
personality by using your eyes correctly. or have others working under you. you will shift your eyes. rather than to try to look from one eye to another. In trying to
command and control people it is amazing how much you
can do with the power of your eyes. when you are trying to control another
person or make a sale. but after a few days'
practice you can comfortably look at the same spot for
many seconds without blinking. and unmagnetic. a crafty appearance. people sense your
insecurity and take advantage of you.
and your eyes may begin to tear.
How to Achieve the Hypnotic Eye: To control others you
need the hypnotic eye. You can develop this by looking
steadily at a spot on a wall or any object in your room. It is best to look between a person's
eyes. and
keeping your gaze fixed there as long as you feel
comfortable. wavering.

They concentrate all the
power of their minds on projecting a pleasant and magnetic
quality to the other person. coupled with his magnetic voice. You can think of this golden line as a web
which you are spinning with your mind.
The late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had this
quality in his personality more strongly than any man in
recent times. pull that line in from the center. either to sell
yourself to them or to sell them some object or service.
mentally extend a golden line between your forehead and
theirs. winning him over completely."
How to Extend the Golden Line of Power: When you are
trying to win control of another person.
They feel a compelling urge to like you.When you use the hypnotic eye with other people you
should attempt to look between their eyes. few people can resist this golden line of
power. "I like you
and you are going to like me. for it causes you to project your mental power to the
other person. without blinking
too often. and hold the thought in your mind.
feeling that you are drawing that person to you magnetically. In fact. and he feels your strength. this. feeling that this line is being attached to the person's

arranging to see him socially or in some other way. it's true. and when you
want something which is good for you and for others.
You can control and command life's forces by the simple
application of this Sixth Principle.
This does not mean to be stubborn or obnoxious. It shows strength of character to never admit you
are beaten. meeting the
person. This Principle is a very
important one for if you allow your emotions to run
rampant and you lose your poise in dealing with other
people.SIXTH PRINCIPLE: Refuse to take "no" for an answer. No matter if a prospective client turned him
down the first or second time he kept on. until he caught the person in a
weak moment and the person bought a policy. but
merely to know when you are in the right. It takes great
persuasion.
such as on a golf course.
A Million Dollars'Worth of Persistence: An insurance
salesman I know who sold over one million dollars worth
of insurance in one year used this principle and made a
great success. you will never be in a position to command and
control people or life. People cannot help but admire such a person. to be able to persist like this. and
never to give up.
There is something compelling about a person who is
persistent. Many people win out in
life because they refuse ever to admit they are defeated. but if the
goal is a high one you simply cannot take the first rejection
by the other person.

SEVENTH PRINCIPLE: Control your emotions if you wish
to have greater power over others.

5."How shall I be able to rule over others. This emotion drives people away from you.
2. Fear generates a chemistry that others sense and resent.
EIGHTH PRINCIPLE: Use an appeal to men'

urges if you wish to influence them and control them. This
emotion causes you to be uneasy and to lack command of
all your mental faculties. This is an emotion that causes the facial muscles

THE THIRD GOLDEN KEY: CURIOSITY
Curiosity is an innate emotion in man. power.
Only one warning about Desire: Do not make yourself
miserable by desiring too much. would never have been
discovered if it had not been for a scientist's enormous
curiosity. and wondered if it would have any effect on some
germs he had in a test tube. which represents a
deep-seated desire to learn or know about the world in
which man lives.

exercising the stimulating emotion of curiosity. and

Have faith that the healing agency is within your body.
You must have the faith of a little child if you wish to
harness the magical power of this great emotion. It is
literally a miracle-worker. When you once harness this
magical power there is hardly anything in life that you
cannot attain.
Many people have faith in drugs and they are often helped. This first Cause we call God. "Nothing in life is more
wonderful than faith" William Osier said: "the one great

One of the most potent forces for releasing your creative
energies and stimulating your higher mind is Faith. young. Believe in
yourself. The little child nursing at its mother's
breast is born with faith in that source of its life and the
power to sustain it. in your talents. in your ability to reach the top

moments.

believe they could walk on muscles that hadn't been used
for years, and they did!

THE FIFTH GOLDEN KEY: INSPIRATION OF LOVE
Love is probably one of the most stimulating and energizing of all emotions. It has the power of life and death
within its scope. A famous pediatrician was noted for his
great success in saving the lives of sick little children. On
each sick child's chart he wrote, "This child is to be taken
up every hour on the hour and loved."
In cases of little orphaned children in hospitals it was noted
that the death rate was unusually high until the doctors had
the nurses pick the little children up and love them as a part
of their daily routine. The deaths mysteriously stopped.
Lift responds to love. Hate produces sickness and death.
This is the invisible law of life. If you wish to unlock doors
to the secrets of the universe, use this magical golden key
of love daily.
254

Lincoln used the key of love to heal a sick nation, and his
memory is revered in history. Love was the magic key used
by Florence Nightingale in healing the soldiers on the
battlefields, and this valiant woman raised nursing to a new
high level of achievement through her noble example.
Mme. Curie's love of her husband caused her to labor for
twenty years to isolate healing radium. The inspiration of
love built the Taj Mahal, as a memorial to a Ruler's wife.
This is one of the loveliest of all buildings in the Far East.
Richard M. Milnes wrote of love:

"
Practice the art of love daily. To help heal the negative
conditions of your life make it a point to practice the art of
love daily.
Do not wait for some propitious moment to indulge this
positive emotion. Look for occasions where you can hold a
loving thought towards some friend or relative. Search each
day for some person for whom you can do a loving,
thoughtful act. Love is more than physical expression of the
biological urge. It has many facets and forms. There is the
devotion and love one has for his parents. Then there is
love of your mate, your children, your relatives. This is a
different degree of love, it's true, from the love you may
show strangers or have for the world, but any degree of
255

love, when it is expressed daily, will help enhance your
personality and give power and drive to your mental,
physical, and spiritual energies.
Do Not Hate Anyone. Make it a practice not to hate anyone,
for any degree of hatred has its repercussions in your body
and poisons the body cells and makes you sick. If you find
yourself hating some person who has wronged you, try to
forgive that person, even if you cannot love him, and
release him to God for his just rewards or punishment. This
then relieves you of the burden of hate, and the harmful
effect of this powerful emotion on your mind and body.
Many people are in mental institutions because they
allowed hate to dominate their minds. Many people have
accidents because they hate some person, and this sets up a
destructive reflex action which tries to destroy them. See
the harmful effect of hate in a Hitler's mind! You will
realize then that you cannot hate any person. In fact, if you
are wise you will not even hate your job or your limited
conditions in life, or the poverty which afflicts you, but you
will transmute this negative emotion into a positive one of
desiring to better your circumstances. This will lead you to
take constructive steps to change your entire life and
remove the conditions which you hate.
God Is Love. The Bible defines God as love. When you
express love in your personality you will have a quality of
the Divine which will make everyone who knows you
admire and respect you.

256

The attributes of love are understanding, compassion, and
forgiveness. Later, when we study the effect of the positive
and negative emotions on your mind and body, you will see
why you must fortify yourself with love and its attributes.
"Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox
and hatred therewith" (Prov. XV: 17).
THE SIXTH GOLDEN KEY: KNOWLEDGE
The Chinese have a saying, "Man with education seems to
always have good luck." Education is simply the accumulation of knowledge. And knowledge is the fact or state of
knowing. Nature holds her greatest blessings and reveals
her priceless secrets to those who have taken the time and
bother to add to their knowledge, either from observation,
experience, by following the precepts laid down by others,
or through the study of books.
When we have knowledge, we should have wisdom, for
wisdom is merely the quality of being wise through the
knowledge that we have accumulated. Even the Bible
speaks of the importance of getting wisdom (Prov. 4:5-9):

Knowledge is Power. It is not physical power that rules the
world it is mental and intellectual power. A man is worth
only a few cents an hour for his labor, but for his ideas and
mental concepts he can command millions. A college
education can give one knowledge, but not necessarily
wisdom. Wisdom only comes from experience or the
application of the knowledge we have absorbed from
books. When you are armed with knowledge you will have
the power to choose the events of your life with wisdom,
and you will be able to overcome obstacles and solve problems better.
Knowledge Applied to Vast Areas. Man's scientific
knowledge spreads over a vast area of the world in which
he lives. We should be aware of this so we can conduct our
studies in a scientific and progressive manner, and
accumulate as much knowledge as possible about the
world. Following are some of the main branches of
knowledge which science has explored and catalogued:
ASTRONOMY: deals with cosmic and stellar systems and
their function, origin, and composition.
GEOLOGY: deals with the formation and composition of
the earth and its history over millions and even billions of
years.
PHYSICS: deals with the atomic structure of matter, and
how energy is converted into matter and matter into energy.

258

PHYSIOLOGY: deals with the body, its structure and
function.
PSYCHOLOGY: deals with man's mind, its operation and
function.
PHILOSOPHY: deals with the accumulation of wisdom
over the ages, and co-ordinates all of man's knowledge in
all areas of life.
ANTHROPOLOGY: deals with the antiquity of the ages
and man's origin.
ARCHEOLOGY: deals with the expanse of past history,
cultures of ancient times, and the exploration of buried
cities.
SOCIOLOGY: deals with man's relationship to others.
THEOLOGY: deals with religion and the nature of God.
Select Areas of Interest. No man can hope to possess all
knowledge. The wise man will select those areas of
knowledge in which he is interested and obtain as much
information as he can or those, rather than trying to do the
impossible and be brilliant in all fields of knowledge. For
instance, you might be interested in psychology, philosophy, sociology, and physics, but only mildly interested in
astronomy or geology or physiology. You can study the
first four subjects intensively, but only take up the latter
three more casually.

schools or evening schools. Let their

life also. you must school yourself in
patience to await the fulfillment of your dream. There is a law of cycles in all nature

you see and hear baffles the human mind. so too. which
you may invoke at will and duplicate. we may harness it to do our bidding and use it for
the everyday miracles we wish to achieve. is something so profound and mysterious that only

things as steam. and yet we know that it can be harnessed to do great
work. but man's mind surpasses
